My radiator, supplied in 2002 was the same as your so I made tubular spacers
as you suggest and used longer bolts. Looking at the new radiator Terry
Clarke has just received this cranks in the, welded on, side plates which
make it the width of the duct.
If you use tubular spacers then the some air can go down the sides. I did
not find this a problem but outside UK you may need the additional cooling.

Fitting the radiator (coolant heat exchanger) to the fabricated cooling
duct,
the book says
"The radiator is bolted to the side platesof the cooling duct by two AN3-5A
bolts and MS21042-4(?) nuts each side."
Offering the radiator up inside the duct leaves a total gap (sum of both
ends)
of about 18mm between radiator ends and duct side plates. Have other people
found this ? If so did you use tubular spacers on longer bolts to fill the
gaps, or something more elaborate ?
